Best pizza in Mobile. No doubt about it. Best lasagna dinner as well. It's Father's Day, so finally I got to choose where we would have dinner. I chose Nino's because I had heard good things about it, and I hadn't had pizza in a very long time. Upon arrival in the parking lot my wife commented about how it was located between a vape shop and a hookah lounge, with a tattoo parlor anchoring the last retail shop in the structure. Not a good first impression, at least to her eyes. She also noticed, and mentioned, that there were several people siting in their vehicles outside the restaurant, with their cars idling. I too thought this was concerning, but not enough to let it distract me from my mission, to discover for myself whether the pizza that Nino's served was as good as I had heard. So despite my wife's protestations, in we went. This place is small, no it's tiny. So much so that it consists of on one side a row of booths for customers to sit at, and on the other side is the order counter, cashier, and the cooking space. Although the front door was wheelchair accessible, it was clear upon entering that the seating was not. So we quickly decided to place an order for takeout. My wife chose the lasagna dinner and I chose a large meat lovers pizza. We didn't have to wait an inordinate amount of time for our order to be prepared, and during that time watched the cooks roll out and kneed the dough for my pizza. My wife asked if their dough was made fresh each day, and the cashier assured her it was. The people outside sitting in their cars, I soon discovered, were DoorDash and UberEats drivers waiting to pickup their order. I deemed this to be a good sign. Soon our order was ready, and one of the cooks actually insisted on carrying it to our car for us. This kind gesture was the final straw for my wife, and without having taken her first bite of her lasagna dinner, announced that Nino's was going to be her only pizza joint, no exceptions. I found my meat lovers pizza to be exactly what I expect from a pizza. The best I have ever had in Mobile. Now I know from reading other reviews, that some have commented that it is not a true New York style pizza, and I will leave that argument to be settled by people more knowledgeable than I. All I know is that I like it. My wife's lasagna was equally as good, and came with a good size salad that was fresh, tasty and crisp. We have a winner in our search for best pizza! Nino's Pizza on Hillcrest. We'll be back! For sure. read more

Ordered my family dinner while we visit Mobile. The food is very good and reminds me of some of the Italian joints by NYC. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite pizza spots on both sides in the bay. My usual is a Stromboli...the best in town without a doubt. I mean no one local is close. Stopped in today with my 82 Godfather who grew up in Brooklyn. A couple of the chefs are from Brooklyn also. They have had some laughs before. My cousins are half-Italian and half PR from Jersey all whom have grown up here in Mobile. They know good Italian. This place is legit. James and the guys are super friendly and the young lady that served us was great. The shop is what it is...a neighbor strip mall pizza shop but this one is outstanding. Not much to look at but clean, friendly and functional for dining in. Most of their business is takeout. Do yourself a favor and come get some good eats. read more

The service was very good here, friendly people for sure and a neighborhood place. The place was very busy and appears to do a great amount of take out orders. Plenty of parking for the size of the restaurant. We had a pizza tonight on our first visit. It was just ok, the price was right. read more

Nino's Pizza - Meat lovers 14" with added banana peppers. - Pizza Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Three stars on the strength of the people and service. Really kind and fast. Would go back for that. The meat-lover pizza was okay at best, maybe people down here don't know what NYC style pizza really tastes like. This wasn't it, and I have consensus from two guys I know that lived in NYC. Then you have the white pizza. Avoid it at all costs, it's not a thing. Stick with the pepperoni or meat lovers. Also big ups for the cold Dr. Pepper. I needed that. And the place was clean and easy to move around. read more

Spaghetti & Meatballs tonight were fabulous! Will order that again. Everything from there is always delicious and plentiful and quickly delivered when ordered through Dash. read more

Usually I'm a little skeptical when it comes to New York Pizza outside of New York, but Nino's is up there. The meat lovers was a fulfilling experience with a rich sauce that didn't overwhelm the overall taste. My order was in and out in a quick turn around and my server made sure to check on me enough and kept my drink filled. It's a nice place to enjoy a slice by yourself or with the family. read more

Saturday is always a struggle to choose a place to eat. It's never van easy decision. This past Saturday was no exception. I've had pizza in the past couple of weeks but I wanted pizza from somewhere other than a chain restaurant. I decided to go with Nino's after some careful scrolling on the Yelp! app. Nino's is a place I'm a little familiar with. The last time I went I had something that I don't remember. And before that last time Nino's wasn't Nino's. It was a hot dog place or something associated with Chicago cuisine. When choosing something to eat what better choice than to get the menu item named after the restaurant. The Nino's pizza is a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, beef, green peppers, olives and mozzarella cheese. I ordered and was eager to try it. When I picked up the pizza to take it home the box was really hot. The car ride home back with the pizza was enjoyable because of the aroma of fresh ingredients. I got back home and when I opened the box I was greeted with a beautiful pizza. Everything looked great but soon I was confused. I didn't know where the slices separated. That caused me to freestyle to gather pizza slice. In hindsight the slices were clearly defined by the notches on the pizza crust. Despite my slice malfunction the pizza was excellent. The crust tasted so well with the cheese and meats. I have no complaints. Well I do have 1 complaint. It's not really a complaint it was an inconvenience. Of course pizza a is greasy that was nothing. The inconvenience comes in when leave the leftover pizza in the box and place it in the refrigerator. Some of the pizza toward the center of the box was stuck to the box. That's a small price to pay. I give this experience 4 stars. It was quality pizza. read more

We got a pizza to take home! Let me tell you! THE BEST PIZZA I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME! I can't wait to try other menu items! We will be back!

Food is normally great, if you don't mind horrible customer service and attitude. I ordered thru Ddordash. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and salad with homemade Italian dressing. There was one quarter sauce and three quarters noodles. Way out of proportion. I was not calling for that. I called to tell them that there Italian dressing was horrible because someone put a lot of red pepper flakes in it. When I called the flunkie that answered tried to come back after she stumbled around and say she was the manager. You should have heard them griping in the backround. Never again. I would rather eat spam. read more

We love Nino's. Every sauce has incredible taste and the pizzas are not "over sauced".

Had the Njnos pizza and it was very disappointing. It really reminded me of Little Ceaser's - which I am not a fan. The first was very tough and the sauce was just ok. Maybe I need to try another item but I was expecting better based on reviews. Will maybe try again and not get pizza. read more

Not my first time trying but I have to say this place is awesome! We got the Garlic knots and the Sicilian pizza. I can't say enough about how great it was. The garlic knots and sauce were perfect little bites of yummy. Garlicky and parmigiana delicious! But that Sicilian pizza though? I usually don't care for thick crust but it was so good, yummy read more

Hands-down, the very best pizza and garlic knots in Mobile!! I've heard their pasta dishes are delicious as well, but I can't get past the pizza. I just wish they sold beer and wine! read more

Best pizza and calzone in Mobile and Baldwin County. You can tell they take pride in making th dough and use good ingredients. The garlic knots were delicious. And the marina was the best we have ever had. read more

The service was great & the food was delicious! Highly recommend any of the strombolis, calzones, and pizzas!

I literally never write reviews but this pizza was DELICIOUS. Me and my boyfriend loved it we got half pepperoni half ninos pizza (the one with no sauce, spinach, olive oil) the crust was so perfect and the quality was amazing. Everyone was so nice who worked in there and we definitely will be coming back. It did look a little sketchy walking in because the windows were blacked out and In a strip mall.. but it was so worth it. & the slices are huge I think 14' inch pizza can be for 4 people honestly with no leftovers. We could both only eat 1 slice. Grazie! read more

The food was great and our waiter James was a blast!! Have to try the stuffed pizza!

Family took a pepperoni pizza home for dinner the other night and I was impressed from the moment I walked through the door. I knew it would be good based on atmosphere alone. customer service was great. they make everything right there where you can watch them. They gave some fresh dough to my daughter to play with while she waited. I went again, today while having work done on my car down the street. ordered a calzone. was crazy good. that mortadella with the ricotta and pepperoni... the seasoning on the top... Go, you won't regret it. again, multiple people asked how I was liking it and it wasn't a question they half to ask. Felt like they actually wanted to know. read more

Nino's has Absolutely THE most fantastic pizza. The staff there is funny and have excellent service.

Pizza dough is made with lower cost flour so crust is more like a biscuit texture. Sauce is ok but a little too sweet, the cheese is low quality as well. Definitely not a NY pizza. read more

Ninos is locally owned and everything there is made with passion! When you eat the pizza there you can tell it's not just some basic greasy pizza you would get from any other take out restaurant, it's always made fresh with quality fresh ingredients. I personally get the pepperoni lovers pizza large well done and my girlfriend gets either the chicken Alfredo or the Nino pizza! read more

Oh nino's I don't even know what to say.... The pizza me and my girlfriend ordered yesterday was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Wanted to show my girlfriend what real pizza taste like rather than the typical fast food pizza places. read more

After hearing recommendations from a friend and seeing photos online I had to stop by. When I arrived I was greeted by the Owner/Chef, he was a very charismatic and genuine guy. I went with their pepperoni pizza because if you can't do a proper pepperoni then you don't need to be making pizza. When the pizza was being pulled out of the oven, The chef directed me over to take a peep of my order, it looked fantastic. After finally eating my order, the pizza was very light on the stomach yet filled you up quickly. The grease was borderline nonexistent ( a good thing ), the dough was thoroughly cooked from the outer edge to the middle and the flavor was on point. I'm glad I went tonight & I will be visiting again. If you love pizza you should definitely add this to your Locally Owned Pizza list. P.S. the only complaint I do have was the amount of Mozzarella sticks you get VS the price. It isn't anything to throw a fit over, but just a small gripe. They were very tasty and hot even after the ride home! read more

Nino's Pizza - Large Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

It's that perfect hole in the wall restaurant with amazing and bright staff ! The food? Absolutely delicious . Started with garlic knots and I was expecting the big ones but these were little bunches and they were probably the best garlic knots I've ever had. I had the chicken Alfredo with broccoli and it was perfectly creamy and doesn't taste like the chicken Alfredo I'm used to in the BEST way! Every bite got better! My Husband got the supreme Philly and French fries and he SMASHED it! We also shared a slice of pizza and my god! That pizza was *chefs kiss* Last but not least the cheesecake! It was very goooood! Simple New York style cheesecake ! Loved it! Needless to say when my husband and I drive back through mobile we will be stopping at Ninos ! read more

My wife and I brought the grand here for lunch. The place is small, and it definitely is a cozy place. We went with the 2 slice and drink lunch special, and weren't disappointed. The pizza was fresh, and the young gentleman who took our order was friendly and attentive to our needs. The pizza itself was quite good, and was very authentic to the New York style. I'd definitely go here again, and I'm interested in trying the pastas and other items on their large menu. read more

Great cheese steak sandwich, excellent pizza even has a vegan crust available. Service is top notch and efficient even quick!!

We have ordered regularly from Nino's pizza. We called tonight after getting home because half the pizza (the inside) was inedible and falling apart from grease. The garlic knots were very hard. We know this is a fluke as we eat here probably monthly. We called and were offered a replacement pizza but it's almost 8pm and were told if we got a refund we had to come back up tonight with the pizza. It seems like quality control was off tonight and unfortunately that results in loss of customers. I wish they would have been more accommodating since this was a favorite place of ours. Several of my pictures are even featured for their restaurant but the experience with service left a bad taste. My husband did notice employees he didn't recognize cooking so maybe that was the issue. read more
